Then there is me, I did a full intro if you go to our page and scroll down! My name is Daniel Jay! I have many invisable illnesses, Elhers-Danlos Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, IBS, Autism, Hyperlordosis, and crushing discs, Fibromyalgia, and syncope! Thank you!

I have Chronic pain. I am 20 years old and I have a chronic pain disorder. Chronic pain has to last longer then 6 months before it's considered chronic pain, anything shorter is intermediate pain. It is life changing. It's debilitating. Today I try to keep a smile on my face while still acknowledging the horrendous pain I'm in. ❤

Enough with the platitudes! Saying stuff like "The only real disability is a bad attitude" is not only unhelpful, it demonstrates a lack of understanding and consideration for the challenges that disabled people such as myself face every day. Also, whether you realize it or not, whether you want to admit it or not, you aren't saying this for our benefit. You're saying it because it's much easier to believe that we're angry and frustrated due to some inherent character flaw than it is to consider that our reactions are justified. It's much simpler to put the onus on us than on society where it belongs. If reading this makes you uncomfortable, then I'm talking to you and I hope you're listening. Discomfort with a situation can be a catalyst for change. If you think I'm wrong then comment and we can discuss this rationally. I hope we can learn something from each other. If you don't have an opinion either way, you are among those concern me most. When it comes to fighting for basic human rights (and disability rights ARE human rights) taking a neutral stance is not an option. If you feel like you simply aren't educated enough to form a coherent opinion, either comment here or on our Facebook page by the same name. Thanks for reading. Until next time.

Suggesting that your friend who was "cured" by Yoga, vitamins, positive thinking, exercise, or diet is ridiculous. I'm happy that your friend feels better, yet do you think that I wouldn't have tired that yet? Or that the doctor would have not let me know about the 'simple' fix?

The spoon theory is a disability metaphor and neologism used to explain the reduced amount of energy available for activities of daily living and productive tasks that may result from disability or chronic illness. ... A person who runs out of spoons has no choice but to rest until their spoons are replenished.

Somedays I only have spoons to do something for one day in a row!

Savers "accessible" changing room! It's not actually accessible. No grab bar. What?!

Today's quote is about disability in society! The quote says "There is no greater disability in society, than the inability to see a person as more" .. Thank you, and have a great day! -Danny
